Basic protection relay knowledge

Definite time delay means that the protection operate time dose not change or depend on the fault type or the fault current magnitude. Inverse time delay, on the other hand, depends on the current

Distance relay Zone of Protection

The time delay of zone 2 and zone 3 elements should be set to coordinate with time-step protection at both the remote and local buses. A typical zone 2 delay setting will be 20–30 cycles. This allows time

FEEDER PROTECTION CALCULATIONS & SETTINGS

In OC relays the coordination is based on the relay time-current characteristics of instantaneous and/or time delay units. Instantaneous units should be set so they do not trip for fault levels equal or lower to
